And if we turn our magic card over we find that there's lots of beautiful B words. We
talked about beauty, and oh this is a big one, you're going to find that you're going
to come in very face-to-face contact with your own brain because it takes a lot of brain
power and coordination of mind and hand and body and all to do calligraphy. And then there's
breath because you have to pay attention to your breath. You're going to breath out, you're
going to exhale on some of the more difficult strokes, but basically speaking you're just
going to breathe as normally as you can, but I would say be aware of your breath. And then
here's the big word. This is a big important word. Balance. Everything that you're going
for is balance here. You're going for the balance of the letter as it stands there.
You're going for balance in your sense of how it is that you're creating, how it is
that you're creating a piece. How it's going to sit on the page. Is it going to balance
side to side, top to bottom and so on. And you're also going to start to be paying more
attention just the general idea of balance in your own life.
